Cats, Brunch And A Lot Of Knitting.

I'm a furniture conservator and part time fitness instructor, living on the Swedish speaking coast of Finland with my husband, our baby boy (born in August 2015) and lazy cat Luna.

I write this blog mostly to keep track of my knitting projects, baking successes (and disasters), what I've been reading and other shenanigans I want to remember, but also to share my knitting patterns and wheat-free baking recipes with anyone who is interested.

You can also find me on Ravelry, my username is sarijaotto.
